One morning toward tbe end of July 1 received a strangely worded letter written In a foreign band, asking me to call at an address in Pembroke Hoad. Kensington, and signed "Sonia." That night, at the time she named,

detached bouse situated in the quiet, rather unfrequented thoroughfare off Karri Court Road, a house which, to my excited Imagination. bore external evidence of mystery within. Why such thought should seiie me I know not. perhaps It was because the wriler of the letter was unknown, and the object of my visit at present unexplained; nevertheless I entered the small garden (hat divided the bouse from the ruadwly. and ascending the steps rang tbe bell. My summons was Immediately answered j by a neat maid, to whom I gave my | card, and next moment I waa ushered : Into a well-furnished drawing room, | dimly Ut by one ull shaded lamp, the j light of which was Insufficient to 11- i luminate the whole room. For a few momenta 1 remained alone In wonder, when suddenly the door opened. iyid there entered ait'oxtreme- ' retty girl scarcely out of her «. dark-haired, with clear-cut feii. bright eyes, and a delicately rounded chin. It struck me. however,

utterable sadness, a look rthil told of g suffering and intense agony of id. Her mannerisms were those of orelgner. her chic was’ that of the e Parlslenne, her dress of black l crepon was plainly but well made.

"In what wayT" I inquired. I bad known Mr a Laii.g arid Klla fur over • vesr and certainly nothing I had learned regarding tneir anieceoenu 'had exilted my’suspicion. The Yorkshire Icings are a county family, and F-dward Lalne Klla a father, had heen the hraff of the great shipping firm that has Its headqusrters In Hull, and Is well known In the North Sea End Atlantic trades. At his death ths and Mrs. I-alng and her daughter had travelled for nearly three years, returning to London shortly before I met them. The statement that KHa's past life was mysterious was certainly putxllng. therefore I added: "When you make an allegation I really think it la only fair that yon should sub-

atantlate IL"

She shrugged her shoulders with a* foreign mannerism that waa charming, exclaiming In her broken English: “Yea. I am well aware of that." she answered with volubility. "You love her; You have olfered her marriage— tbe woman who U your most bitter foe!" / "What do you meanT That Ella la my enemy?” I cried dismayed. Again she sighed, but at'last said:' “The trnlh has already been forced Upon you, I should think." "By the death of your friend.
